Who We Are?

We are a group of faculties, students, and ex-students (at master and PhD level) interested in developing and doing research in video games. The heart of our community is the Videogame Design and Programming course for the Master in Engineering of Computing Systems.

The Course

The "Video game Design and Programming" course focuses on the design and development of video games. Students learn the basics of videogame design and programming, attend specific seminars from field experts, and form project groups to design, build and demonstrate a simple video game.

RESEARCH

We are interested in the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning to video games and in the development of games for health applications. We applied artificial intelligence for the procedural generation of content using search algorithms, to balance gameplay in first-person shooters and 2D platformers, to board and card games, to build non-player characters, for children rehabilitation, and dyslexia.
